I've been using Sonicwalls for ages. Particularly for content filtering, Malware, and edge level AV. However, small clients are getting fast enough (1Gb) connections that even mid level Sonicwalls aren't remotely fast enough. And the cost for maintaining the large ones are prohibitive. So what about replacing the Sonicwall value add stuff with something like Cisco Umbrella, or something else? (FWIW, to get Gig DPI throughput, you'd need an NSA5600). That's not in the budget of a 30 person company.
I do use centralized management, so I can't go the open source route. I don't mind keeping the SW for VPN termination and NAT, it's the services that are the problem.
I asked this question awhile back, it's now become a real issue for clients.
